This version (v1.11.7) is backwards compatible to v1.11.0. It is optional but recommended for all operators.
š Focus: State Sync Robustness + Reduce DB Compaction Rate + Prepare for Metrics Overhaul
ā
Compatibility Check: VM Interface (v35) ā
Durango 7 DOES NOT modify the VM interface. If you are running a Custom VM on v1.11.3-v1.11.6 (like Subnet-EVM@v0.6.5), it will work with v1.11.7.
github.com/ava-labs/subnet-evm/releases/tag/v0.6.5
State Sync Robustness
Durango 7 fixes a C-Chain State Sync panic bug (github.com/ava-labs/coreth/pull/568) and incorrect ETA estimates (github.com/ava-labs/coreth/pull/565).
Thanks to @darioush0 and @jceyonur for implementing these improvements š.
Reduce DB Compaction Rate
Durango 6 introduced a bootstrapping regression that was ultimately caused by compacting the database too frequently.
@stephenbuttolph explained this issue in detail and implemented a fix here: github.com/ava-labs/avalanchego/pull/3065
Prepare for Metrics Overhaul
To prepare for the upcoming metrics overhaul (github.com/ava-labs/avalanchego/pull/3053), a number of metrics cleanup PRs were included in Durango 7.
The full metrics overhaul is expected to be included in Durango 8.
